Over on Reddit's "selfhosted" subreddit for alternatives to popular services, long-time Slashdot reader Zoup described a pain point: - Landlock is a Linux Security Module (LSM) that lets unprivileged processes restrict themselves. - It's been in the kernel since 5.13, but the API is awkward to use directly. - It always annoyed the hell out of me to run random binaries from the internet without any real control over what they can access. So they've rolled their own solution, according to Thursday's submission to Slashdot: I just released Landrun, a Go-based CLI tool that wraps Linux Landlock (5.13+) to sandbox any process without root, containers, or seccomp. Think firejail, but minimal and kernel-native. Supports fine-grained file access (ro/rw/exec) and TCP port restrictions (6.7+). No daemons, no YAML, just flags. Example (where --rox allows read-only access with execution to specified path): # landrun --rox /usr touch /tmp/filetouch: cannot touch '/tmp/file': Permission denied# landrun --rox /usr --rw /tmp touch /tmp/file# It's MIT-licensed, easy to audit, and now supports systemd services.

"The third James Bond novel was published on this day in 1955," writes long-time Slashdot reader sandbagger. Film buff Christian Petrozza shares some history: In 1979, the market was hot amid the studios to make the next big space opera. Star Wars blew up the box office in 1977 with Alien soon following and while audiences eagerly awaited the next installment of George Lucas' The Empire Strikes Back, Hollywood was buzzing with spacesuits, lasers, and ships that cruised the stars. Politically, the Cold War between the United States and Russia was still a hot topic, with the James Bond franchise fanning the flames in the media entertainment sector. Moon missions had just finished their run in the early 70s and the space race was still generationally fresh. With all this in mind, as well as the successful run of Roger Moore's fun and campy Bond, the time seemed ripe to boldly take the globe-trotting Bond where no spy has gone before. Thus, 1979's Moonraker blasted off to theatres, full of chrome space-suits, laser guns, and jetpacks, the franchise went full-boar science fiction to keep up with the Joneses of current Hollywood's hottest genre. The film was a commercial smash hit, grossing 210 million worldwide. Despite some mixed reviews from critics, audiences seemed jazzed about seeing James Bond in space. When it comes to adaptations of the novella that Ian Flemming wrote of the same name, Moonraker couldn't be farther from its source material, and may as well be renamed completely to avoid any association... Ian Flemming's original Moonraker was more of a post-war commentary on the domestic fears of modern weapons being turned on Europe by enemies who were hired for science by newer foes. With Nazi scientists being hired by both the U.S. and Russia to build weapons of mass destruction after World War II, this was less of a Sci-Fi and much more of a cautionary tale. They argue that filming a new version of Moonraker "to find a happy medium between the glamor and the grit of the James Bond franchise..."
